The Ruling on Rectal Injections for the Fasting Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, and this question was asked yesterday, regarding the rectal injection: what is required of the patient who must take it in the morning? Does it break his fast, and does he have to make it up?

Answer:
If the rectal injection is limited to the rectum and does not extend further, there is no harm. However, if it contains medicines that the body absorbs and which travel with the blood vessels, it breaks the fast of the fasting person.
